“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
– H.L. Mencken, July 26, 1920, in The Evening Sun
Thanks to my lovely wife, Elvira
I’ve just downloaded the Kleptones, A Night at the Hip Hopera, a brilliant mashup that combines the music of Queen with Ferris Bueller clips, the Beastie Boys, and, well, just about everything cool there is. It’s being distributed free at a veriety of places online which is, of course, illegal and Disney, which owns the rights to all of Queen’s music1 is sending cease and desist orders to people who provide links. So it won’t be available for much longer. So get out your iPods, and download this modern masterpiece before it’s too late!
Download A Night at the Hip Hopera by the Kleptones at Klepshimi’s mp3 blog.
